Claim 7

A process for preparing a compound according to claim 1, which comprises: a. 6'-sulfonylating with a sulfonylating agent of the formula R 4 SO 3 A or of the formula (R 4 SO 2 ) 2 O wherein R 4 is alkyl of 1-4 carbon atoms, benzyl, phenyl, p-tolyl or p-bromophenyl and A is halogen or 6'-halogenating in an apropic solvent with a chlorinating or brominating agent the 6'-hydroxyl group of penta-N masked lividomycin B compound of the formula: ##SPC23## or of the formula: ##SPC24## wherein R 2 is hydrogen, alkyl of 1-4 carbon atoms, phenyl, alkoxy of 1-6 carbon atoms, phenoxy, benzyloxy or p-nitrobenzyloxy; R 3 is alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms, phenyl, tolyl, p-methoxyphenyl or o-hydroxyphenyl; and Z is hydrogen, alkanoyl of 2-5 carbon atoms, benzyl or tetrahydropyranyl to form a 6'-sulfonylated or 6'-halogenated derivative of said masked lividomycin B compound; b. aminating the resultant 6'-sulfonic ester group or 6'-halo group by reacting said 6'-sulfonic ester or 6'-halo group with an alkali metal azide to form a corresponding 6'-azide and reducing said azide to the amino group by hydrogenation or by reacting said 6'-sulfonic ester or 6'-halo group in an organic solvent with ammonia or an alkylamine of the formula R 1 NH 2 wherein R 1 has the above-indicated values to convert said 6' group to amino, mono-alkylamino of 1-4 carbon atoms or 2-hydroxyethylamino; and c. reducing the hydroxyl protecting groups Z and the amino protecting groups R 2 and R 3 to hydrogen to form said 6'-deoxy-6'-amino-lividomycin B compound.

Claim 8

Claim 9

A process according to claim 6 wherein said 6'-azide is formed by reacting said masked lividomycin B derivative with an alkali metal azide in an anhydrous organic solvent at a temperature of 40°-120° C.

Claim 10

A process according to claim 6 wherein step b) comprises reacting said 6'-sulfonic ester or 6'-halo group in an organic solvent with ammonia or an alkylamine of the formula R 1 NH 2 wherein R 1 has the above-indicated values.
